Elbow Arthroscopic Capsular Release
Arthroscopic debridement of the elbow is a treatment procedure used to examine, diagnose, and correct abnormalities within the elbow joint. A tiny camera called an arthroscope is placed into the elbow during this treatment. Your Florida Orthopaedic Institute physician can use the arthroscope to check inside the elbow without having to create a large incision thanks to the camera.
The elbow is a complex and vital joint, but unlike other joints, it is not covered by muscle or fat, leaving it particularly vulnerable to injury. A catastrophic injury, overuse from repetitive-motion work or sports, or weakening bones due to ageing are the most common causes of elbow damage. To confirm the presence of joint deterioration and remove unhealthy tendon tissue, an arthroscopic debridement of the elbow may be required. Arthroscopy is a popular treatment choice because it needs fewer incisions, has a faster recovery period, and leaves less scarring than traditional surgical procedures.
Only arthroscopic debridement of the elbow is advised if non-surgical treatments such as rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medicines or injections have failed.
